Abby Goes to Venezuela

Robbie Martin interviews Abby Martin about her recent trip to Venezuela, where she explains the reality on-the-ground, dissects the corporate media's propaganda campaign against the government and describes firsthand the fascistic, violent nature of opposition protesters carrying out daily barricades, known as "guarimbas". They also discuss the legacy of Hugo Chavez and why his brand of socialism poses such an enormous threat to the US Empire.
